Implement support for connecting void-args functions on Events. The use case is to shorten the function signature in cases where the user does not care about the event arguments.

+# Event
+### A C++20 Event system inspired by C# syntax.
+![](https://img.shields.io/badge/Redacted-Software-black)
+![Static Badge](https://img.shields.io/badge/Lit-Based-%20)
+![C++](https://img.shields.io/badge/C%2B%2B-20-blue)
+[![License: Unlicense](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-Unlicense-blue)](http://unlicense.org/)
+
+## Features
+* Fast
+  * (TODO: Profile!)
+* Flexible
+  * Event delegate can be of any ![FunctionObject](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/FunctionObject) type.
+  * Supports any set of parameters via templates.
+* Easy To Use
+  * Written in portable and standard C++, no hacks or quirks.
+  * Utilizes Modern C++ features for elegant design.
+  * Zero dependencies. Fully self-contained.
+* Unrestricted
+  * No GNU Copyleft communism. Totally Free & Public Domain.
+
+## Coming Soon
+
+* Event Filters / Policy
+* Asynchronous
+* Thread-Safe Version
+* Priority Queue
+* Auto disconnecting
+
+## Supported Compilers
+
+* GCC 14.2.1 (RedHat)
+* MSVC 19.40
+
+## Usage
+
+This project is designed to be integrated via [CMake Package Manager](https://github.com/cpm-cmake/CPM.cmake).
+
+```cmake
+CPMAddPackage(
+        NAME Event
+        URL https://git.redacted.cc/josh/Event/archive/Release-7.zip
+)
+```
+This snippet will automatically download a stable release of Event into your project's build directory, so it won't clutter your sources.
+
+Take note of the release version and make sure it's the latest available in the Releases tab above.
+
+```cmake
+target_include_directories(${PROJECT_NAME} PUBLIC ${Event_SOURCE_DIR}/include)
+target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} PUBLIC Event)
+```
+
+This snippet will import the headers, and then link the library to your library/executable. You should now be able to use Event.
+
+The C++ snippet below reads input from the terminal and fires an event that received the input message.
+
+```cpp
+#include <Event.h>
+#include <EventConnection.h>
+
+void ReadMessage(const std::string& message) {
+    std::cout << "Received: " << message << std::endl;
+}
+
+int main()
+{
+    Event<std::string> OnInput; // This and the declaration below are equivalent.
+    BasicEvent<std::function<void(std::string)>, std::string> OnInput2;
+    bool running = true;
+    while (running) {
+        std::string input;
+        std::cin >> input;
+        OnInput.Invoke(input);
+        OnInput(input); // Call operator is defined as well.
+    }
+    return 0;
+}
+
+More advanced examples can be found in the main.cpp file.
+
+```
